complex is too powerful and too omnipresent for that not to happen.
Okay.
I want to respond, and I'll hand over now, because I think Poso's got something to say, but before I do, right, I want to respond to something that you said in the break.
You said, if we do this, folks, call it whatever you want, but don't call it the kingdom of Israel.
Steve, I couldn't disagree with you more.

If you want the hard-on-roll buy-in on this project, which you're never going to get anyway, but if you want the hard-on-roll buy-in on the Christian state, you must call it the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
And you've got to issue passports which say Deus Vult in gold-embossed capitals on the front so that everybody knows what this is about.
But you're still not going to get me to buy into this because I tell you this, America, if you go down this road and have a Christian state there, you are never, ever getting out of the Middle East, ever.
OK, my closing thought is this.
Looking at the scenes as President Trump meeting the various world leaders, how far back do you need to go in America's history to find an American president who wasn't a person who was magnified by his office?
President Trump isn't magnified by the
office of the presidency, he magnifies the office of the presidency.
Looking at these scenes here, it is almost as if President Trump, as a personality, as a figure, as what we said earlier in the Hegelian term, the world historical figure, it's almost as if he is too large for himself because of his personality for the office of the presidency.
And this is the epitome for me of the idea of public service.
You go in and you make changes that you want to do with elected office.
